EDITORS (OR THOSE CONSIDERING BECOMING ONE)
The order form in the AUTHORS section is for authors seeking editing services. Please do not use it or email me if you require business guidance (e.g. editing resources, training advice, setting up an editing business, marketing).

​Instead, visit the By Appointment page. There, you'll find links to all the free information I offer as well as the books, courses and business coaching available.
ADVERTISERS, SEO AGENCIES AND CONTENT WRITERS
Please don't waste your valuable time emailing me because I do not accept guest articles on my blog, or add links to existing blog articles for free or in exchange for products, services or money.

​How much will it cost?

​Prices for my services vary according to the size of your project, the medium in which the work takes place, the nature of the material, the requested turnaround time, and the level of intervention required. I offer five levels of service:
​
  • Full line/copyedit – for authors whose text has not been previously line- and copyedited
  • The first 10K – for authors wanting a pre-submission line- and copyedit
  • Mini  line critique – for authors on a budget who need a sentence-level assessment and report
  • Sample edit – a 1,000-word line- and copyedit for authors who want to assess whether we're a good fit before committing their book in full
  • Full proofread – for authors whose text has been previously line- and copyedited
​​​
I can provide you with a confirmed quotation after I've seen a representative sample of the text and we've discussed the parameters of the project.

Booking fee

I ask new clients for a non-refundable booking fee to secure a slot in my schedule. The booking fee will be deducted from the final invoice. See my terms and conditions for more information.

Louise is a consummate professional and the ideal person to turn to for help with a manuscript. She made my story so much better and offered many insightful suggestions. The most wonderful thing of all was the way she kept my voice intact.

I love what you did to my manuscript. You found so much more than my line editor. I wish I had engaged you first. Your attention to detail, tracking and precision are much appreciated.
